A little green jeweler's rouge on a felt buffing wheel will go miles to remove any discoloration. If you're of that bent, you can make parts very,...
Powermatic obviously. Brain cramp.
Fine job. Like Alex's Porter Cable saw as well!
@Pitsligo Here's my experience. Go to the local hardware store. (20 minutes drive). Find that they are out of what you are looking for. Drive to...
I concur that the price is not bad. By the time you get the stock, cut it, file the ends, bend it, and get done with everything else, you'll have...
I've been flogging around on the UK military site arrse.co.uk. It appears that at least from a military standpoint, the demise of issue hexamine...
Just the other day, I was skimming the offerings on EvilBay, and happened on a Chinese copy of a Turm alcohol gravity stove. The text touted "New...
Well, as no one is currently shooting at me, I guess the Trangia alky burner makes more sense in my case. "Hexy Telly" sounds rather entertaining,...

Regarding the Butterfly stoves from St. Paul Mercantile: I feel the owner has the best of intentions, but not the best of stoves. I bought a wick...
We're on, then. I hope you'll shave.
John, if you can find me an original Primus style gimbal and arrange for shipment of same, I promise to kiss all parts of you cherry red -- and I...
Ah, once more unto the breach, good friends. The Prabhats are not all that bad a stove, and sufficient for a daily user. Given various years,...
